" I know that you are here! "Come out and introduce yourself. If you are not our enemy, I promise - we will not attack. - And again there is silence. After all, who knows who they consider an enemy?

Ok. I understand what you think. So I will introduce myself.

- Light! Do not risk so, suddenly this is one of those who forced us to hide here.

" Then he will die. "But before he dies he finds out from whose hand. I am Demeter - the priestess of this ancient temple. - And again there is silence. Our hero only smiled a little. He began to like this game.

" You show disrespect in our land! "Teleph - start looking for our guest. - After these words, the men accompanying her began to disperse and look around. Like herself. Fortunately, she completely alone went to the right baron's room. Her eyes a little povyvikli from the darkness because of being at the fire, but because she saw it very badly. Entering the room, she did not see the dark mass of his armor from two paces. True, he himself successfully stood up - in the darkest corner of the room, but notice, if the eye is accustomed to the dark, you can. She took another step forward and heard a slight noise on the right. Of course, she turned to the irritant and immediately fell into the embrace of our hero, who took her left hand with her waist, and the right one clamped her mouth, and then pressed her to him. Poor girl, from the surprise and completely strange sensations, she was so scared that she could not hold her bladder out. And what do you want? You go into a dark room, and then you, absolutely noiselessly, have something very hard and cold. So our poor fellow not only dropped his spear and lost the gift of speech, but also, with a slight twitching of his whole body, made a byaku. And after it has softened and has lost consciousness. The sounds that accompanied all this action did not cause any reaction from the accompanying men. Therefore, Eric was carte blanche for action. Going out to fight with them is unreasonable, even if he kills them all, he will be of no use to this. They need him as subordinates, and not as corpses. And to kill, judging by our ward, he always can. Therefore, after waiting for the guys to move away, he clamped the fingers of his nose, which was limp on his hands, that caused a rather quick reaction to the sharp inhalation of the mouth and the coming to consciousness. He did not give a shout to her, clutching his mouth with his hand, whispered in his ear:

" You can make a sound without permission, and I'll cut your head off. "Understood or not, I do not ask - I warn. Due to the fact that you, rubbish, maloholnaya, pissed off my legs, I'm very angry, so do not even hope for indulgence. I will cut it off and say that it was.

Then he pressed the blade of the devil to her throat and began to slowly move out into the light. Near the campfire, he hailed these griefs - bodyguards, calling for help with a rather sophisticated fantasy in terms of their sexual orientation.

It took only a few minutes and the situation changed dramatically. Instead of a brazen and self-assured lady with bodyguards, there were four frightened men and a girl in the hall, Erik was holding on his knees, in front of him, holding his hair wound around his left arm. In his right hand he held the devil.

" So you gathered here today to please me with a small and curious narrative. "First you say, then you, further you and at the very end you.

"Sir, let our hostess tell everything. "

- I'll decide what's best. - He pulled the girl by the hair up, from which she squeaked. - And if you want to solve everything by the world, then you will be a model of humility and obedience. Do I make myself clear?

"Yes, sir, it's very clear. "

- My name is Telef, my father's name was

In general, each of them briefly and in detail told the story of his life, what he knows and how he turned out to be in an underground cult. It turns out that in Kerkir, since the time of Constantine, a social group has survived, which decided not to abandon the ancient cult. Every year this community faded, losing its representatives. And now, those who were in the cave represented the whole cult - the last family. These guys were the girl's brothers, and their parents were killed recently during the robbery. The robbers attacked, because these overgrown people lit up some valuable cult property. The family was quite prosperous, but not enough to have protection. The well-being of the parents allowed the children not to bother with military exercises or other useful things, but simply idle. Of all of them, only the girl was able to read and write in Byzantine and had insignificant knowledge of astronomy and astrology.

Ok. Now we sat on the ass near the statue. Legs stretch forward. Okay. If anyone decides to fidget and check that Perseus's blood does not flow in his veins, then I do so - first I cut down her head, and then I start to mock the self-assured corpse that I decided to hold back. Oh! How nice! You all grasp on the fly!

After waiting until they finish, he lifted the girl from her knees by the hair and turned her face to him. His lips were white and shaking, there was hatred in his eyes, his face was in tears.

" Well, you are beautiful! "You would see yourself now. Oh well, the question that I asked your brothers, you heard. So I'm all in the spotlight.

- How do you allow yourself to lead me? I'm the high priestess of Artemis!

Eric bent her head back so that she screamed, and his face hovered over her face.

" You're a fool, if you think I'll let you talk to yourself like that. "Or have you forgotten how literally half an hour ago you lost face with fear? You are my terrible. Answer the questions and maybe I'll keep all of you alive for a while.

- Butcher! I will not answer you, I will not succumb! You broke me and humiliated me, but not until the end, I still have a drop of pride!

" Do you suggest that I humiliate you to the end? "In front of your brothers? - He said and a little squeezed the hand holding the squall, her ass. It was uncomfortable, because the guard was interfering. But the girl understood everything and clearly reacted.

No. Don't you dare!

"You have a choice dear, or we talk relatively politely, or " He winked at her.

Ok. I I will not carry to the extreme. My name is Demeter, my father's name was Evrymakh, we are from the class of merchants. His father had ten ships, on which he drove goods between Venice and Athens. We are the last generation in Kerkyra, who worshiped Artemis and supported her temple. After the death of my parents, I hired the manager of his trading house and assumed the title of High Priestess. Our affairs are now very modest, because of the storms, we lost many ships, now we have only three left. I know and I can do quite a few things. As a child, my parents could make me do a little bit, then I learned to write, read and understand the starry sky. You see for yourself - the priestess from me turned out to be bad, I led everyone who followed me to the threshold of death - she lowered her eyes and was completely saddened by her face.

" You just have to sit in a corner and wipe the snot with a handkerchief. "Do not cry, powerful priestess, I do not always bring death. How old are you?

- Sixteen. Sir, please tell us from whose hand we are humiliated and can die at any moment. Regret. Ignorance of such things is intolerable.

" Um do you really want to know my name? "You will not be frightened? Or did you decide to petty revenge today, referring to some incontinence? She completely blushed and looked down.

- Forgive me, I showed weakness. I will try to prevent this from happening again.
